The phone runs very slow. Take time to respond the commands and froze too often. If you want a phone to make calls only, the A16 is right for you. Otherwise, than that not recommended.

Poor quality and slow speed with glitches. It was at a low price promotion. I have always had Samsung Galaxies and they last an average of 5+ years. My screen broke on my last one and it was freezing prior to my upgrade. I saw this promotion for a discounted price and was upgrade eligible so I didnt hesitate. Boy, do I regret that decision. I'm in worse shape with this new phone and have more issues than my 5 year old one with a cracked screen.
